The President has received letter from
Hon. c. N. Clay, OF Kentucky. calling atten-
! ton TO a report that cargo of English
Australian rabbits is at ea, bound for the
United States. He says he has made do
mestic livestock of all kinds study. and
! that il would be better to have pleuro-pn
monia, smallpox ana cholera spread over
the United States than 20 suffer the ravages
which will result from the iDportatio of
these rabbits.

proofs representing 81, 500. - acres.
The average life of worker bee is only
forty-five days. Estimating that losses Of
bees occur from birds. spiders, storms and
other causes, the queen must be busy lay
ing eggs in order to keep the number to tho
maximum. 1t is therefore best not to allow
frequent swarming. This may be prevented
by cutting out the queen cells. By allow
ing plenty of room in the hive there will be
less inducement to swarm.
Lennox (Dak.) shipped a, 953 dozen eggs
last year.

Marked Growth i'm 1886 in the Production

Statistics compiled by the Well-Fargo
Express Company show that in the
great mining region west of the Missis-
sippi the production of precious metals
enjoyed a period of marked growth in
1856. The 1eld of silver. not counting
the receipts from Mexico, was S52. 1876.

borne in mind. are in values measured
by the gold standard. and the increase
in the weight of bullion was proper
tionately much greatera the price OF
silver having been unprecedentedly
low last year. As compared with the
average annual production of the last

Pretty Nursery Rugs.

An English way of making nursery
rugs is to cut out animals. figures. etc.
in colored flannel and sew them on gay
foundations; making floor pictures for
the babies and small children to crawl
upon. Some of the rugs have domestic
scenes of feeding chickens, or women
with milking pals. with a border OF
COWS, horses and pigs. The figures OF
red or black flannel are buttonhoied to
the foundation and can be separated in
washing Some of the figures are
made of swans down, and can be
shaken, or loosely combed out, after
being washed. The foundation OF these
rugs are canvas and fringed on the
ends.-Detron Tribune.

A WASTE OF WATER.
An Immense Cloud Burst . Few Miles
West of the City.

A mammoth cloud burst occurred yes
terday evening about 5 o'clock near the
Union Pacific track between Colorado
Junction and Borie station. The i'm
mense body of water was first sighted by
Conductor Deitrick and a force of men
connected with a work train which was
operating in that vicinity. 1t moved
with the rapidity and uncertainty of a
prairie fire, and carried fences and mounds
OF dirt along as if they were mere straws.
Fortunately no lives were lost, and as
there were no houses in the pathway of
the food, none were wrecked, though
fully twenty-five head of cattle valued at
about 81, 900 we're caught in the seething
current and drowned as they hopelessly
shrugged and cried out, evidently conscious
of the terribleness of their awful fate.
The mountain of water spent its force
on a large fill of soft earth between the
stations named above and converted the
roadbed into an immense canal for a dis
lance of 600 feet in one place and 200 in
another. The scene presented was as
novel and unusual as it was serious and
dangerous Had it occurred an hour and
a half later, by which time the overland
express would have reached that point,
over 500 lives would have inevitably been
i~eopardized and many undoubtedly lost.
Mr.. Deitrick and three other men, after
a great deal of labor. and encountering
not a little danger, reached the city on a
hand car and related to the officials here a
true account of the real state of affairs at
the scene of the washout, and in a very
few minutes a large force of men, thor
oughly equipped for such work, in charge
of Roadmaster Delaney, were enroute to
the point. Men and tools were brought
from Laramie, and every section house
from Borie to that city, and were pressed
into service as rapidly as practicable.
The damage will probably be repaired by
II o'clock to-day.
The Omaha train and several carloads
of west bound passenger from Denver are
delayed in the city until the road be comes
passable.

PAPERS
The Documents Recently Stolen from IL.
Haas Returned.

Certain events TRANSFERRED in the Haas
safe robbery case Yesterday which are
thought by the knowing ones to furnish
ali important clue to the perpetrators of
the recent burglary.
At noon yesterday two colored boys
named Walter Scott and Willie Derrick
presented themselves at Mr.. Haas Office
bearing a bundle of papers, a book, re-
v%olver, crowbar, can of powder, fuse,
brace and several steel drills and a num-
Der of other articles. The papers. a book
and some draughting tools were recog-
nized at once as those taken from Mr..
Haas safe several nights ago, and were
thankfully received by that gentleman
who generously presented each of the
boys with a IS gold piece,
The two lads, who were apparently
about II or IA years of age, explained in
a clear and straightforward manner that
they had discovered the plant of the
thieves under a sidewalk near the corner
of Nineteenth and Themes streets, while
playing in that neighborhood, and had
fastened to return it to the rightful owner.
The patent mechanical brace and steel
drills were stolen from the establishment
of Mr.. Haas over a year ago, consequently
the natural inference drawn is that the
two raids were made by the same parties.
One of the drills was fitted in the apera-
ture bored in P. S. Cooks safe upon a
recent visit of burglars to hat gentle
mans Office on Seventeenth street, and is
pronounced by expert machinists to be
the identical drill which was used in
effecting an entrance into the plumbers
iron receptacle. About twenty feet of
fuse and a can of powder was recently
purchased at a local hardware store by a
suspicious looking individual who declared
that he desired to do some blasting in a
well with the explosive and its auxiliary.
No one can be found in the city who has
heard of any rock work being done in a
well for a year or more. The crowbar, or
what is called in burglars slang a Jim
my" was stamped with the initials A. r.,
and an owner will undoubtedly be found
for it in a few days. There is not the
slightest trace of the whereabouts of the
missing jewelry as yet.
1t may now be safely asserted that the
thieves will soon be apprehended, as every
occurrence points to the direction of certain
parties who have long been suspected of
similar acts.
